The x-ray crystal structures of the right-handed double-stranded double-helical dimers (DSDH) reported here agree with 15N-NMR and CD data on the functional gramicidin D channel in lipid bilayers. These structures demonstrate single-file ion transfer through the channels. The results also indicate that previous crystal structure reports of a left-handed double-stranded double-helical dimer in complex with Cs+ and K+ salts may be in error and that our evidence points to the DSDH as the major conformer responsible for ion transport in membranes. The conducting form of gramicidin A is a right-handed double-stranded double helix.,Burkhart BM, Li N, Langs DA, Pangborn WA, Duax WL Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1998 Oct 27;95(22):12950-5.
